Separation Poem by terri kay

I so desperately want to be rid of you.
I so anxiously want us to be over.
I try to move on and start fresh.
But you're there
in my memories,
in my thoughts,
when I take a wrong turn,
when I see something new.

And of all I know,
only one thing am I sure.
I want to be done with us.
move on.
let go.
But I can't.
I simply can't.
Because you still hold power over me.

And I don't know how to separate us.
I'm afraid to separate us.
I need to separate us.

For once and for all.
